5. Turn the generator off. Check the stack for proper
assembly, damaged components, or dirty mating
surfaces. Recheck the ultrasound cable for proper
connections. Repeat Steps 1 through 4. If the test still
fails, go to the next step.
6. Turn the generator off, remove the stack from the
thruster, and remove the horn from the stack. Reinstall
the transducer-booster assembly in the thruster and
turn the generator on. Repeat Steps 2 through 4.
If the assembly passes with the horn removed, the horn
is outside the specications required for operation with
the Digi-Trac preset range. Reassemble the horn to the
stack.
The System tab of iQ Explorer has a section for
Advanced Hardware. These features are designed for
unique horns and applications. See Figure 5-4.
Consult Dukane Corporation before making adjustments
to these settings.

If any failure indications are present with the horn
removed, check the booster and the transducer for the
following
• Any visible damage
• Loose or cracked stud
• Pitted or dirty mating surfaces
Make any necessary repairs or adjustments.
Go to Step 7.
7. Repeat Steps 1 through 6.
• If the failure indications disappear, reassemble the
horn to the stack and repeat Steps 2 through 4.
• If any failure indications are still present, do not
run this stack. Return the transducer and booster
to Dukane for analysis.
